Recent Monte Carlo simulations on the Kern and Frenkel model of the Janus fluid have revealed that in the vapor phase, below the critical point, there is the formation of preferred inert clusters made up of a well-defined number of particles: the micelles and the vesicles. This is responsible for a re-entrant gas branch of the gas-liquid binodal. Detailed account of this findings are given in the first chapter where the Janus fluid is introduced as a product of new sophisticated synthesis laboratory techniques. In the second chapter a cluster theory is developed to approximate the exact clustering properties stemming from the simulations. It is shown that the theory is able to reproduce semi-quantitatively the micellization phenomenon. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in physics. 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aIntegral equations$xAsymptotic theory 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aIntegral equations$xAsymptotic theory. 676 $a530.15 700 $aFantoni$b Riccardo$01424720 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741183003321 996 $aThe Janus Fluid$93554192 997 $aUNINA
